A Frankfort woman involved in a high-speed police chase through three counties has been released from the hospital.

Rebecca Manley, 31, had stabbed herself six times in the neck with a knife before being taken into custody by Kentucky State Police on Tuesday, but her injuries were not that serious, said Hunter Martin, the trooper who initiated the traffic stop that led to the pursuit.

Manley is lodged at the Shelby County Detention Center under a $5,000 cash bond, charged with DUI, fleeing and evading police and having no insurance.

Jody Wills, the Shelby County woman who admitted to stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from her employer, entered Shelby Circuit Court on Tuesday morning to plead her case for why the court should not revoke her probation for failing to honor her restitution schedule.

She departed in handcuffs to begin her 10-year sentence for embezzling.

EMINENCE – The 240 animals confiscated Dec. 12 from a puppy mill/hoarding situation on Allyson Lane in rural Campbellsburg have all found refuge with foster homes, veterinarians and animal rescue groups in the region, Henry

County Animal Control Officer Dan Flinkfelt said.

So far, the majority of the animals have survived. Two cats that were removed from the property died in transit; one was euthanatized after it tested positive for feline leukemia, a deadly, incurable and highly contagious disease.

A high-speed police chase through three counties Tuesday afternoon ended with a Franklin County woman stabbing herself and being forced off the road by police.

Kentucky State Police Trooper Hunter Martin said that when the call came in at about 2 p.m. about a female who was possibly suicidal and armed with a handgun, he just happened to be the one who spotted her vehicle.

“I saw a car that matched that description, and I got behind her and started following her,” he said.

The family of a Shelbyville teen shot and killed by police spoke publicly about the tragedy for the first time since it happened.

Trey F. Williams, 18, a former Shelby County High School basketball player, was killed Nov. 19 inside his grandmother’s home on Clifton Court in Shelbyville during an altercation with two Shelbyville Police officers.
